How to email replies in CFDB Plugin also?

  • Hi,

    I am using “Contact Form 7 to Database Extension”, version 1.8.5 to capture entries from multiple contact forms (CF7) to the database.
    I also need to capture the replies sent back to those who filled the form in the same database.

    To make this happen, I am enforcing the recipient of the mail to reply back to the sender via the same contact form. I need to then do some customization to automatically change the “Reply To” address to that of the sender.

    Any idea how I can achieve this?

    Regards,
    Amit

    I am using Contact form 2.4.5 on a WP 3.1.2 install.

    The correct question is :

    How to SAVE email replies in CFDB plugin database also?

    The CFDB Plugin does not interact with email at all. So there is no support for capturing emails and saving them to the DB.

    Thanks for taking time out to write Michael!

    I understand that.
    I just wanted to be able to hack something up and demo a POC.
    I basically was trying to get the recipient to get back to the same form and reply back to the sender. Thanks to your plugin’s filtering capabilities, I could display the necessary results in a table.

    I chose WP as a platform because of the multisite feature that it has.

    The primary requirement was for registered users to be able to do 1 on 1 consultations with certain members of the community. The consultations have to be recorded in a private discussion thread, and an email copy of the discussions should be shared as well.

    Right now I am customizing BuddyPress to be able to achieve this.

    Once again, thanks for creating a wonderful plugin. And for investing your time in answering such trivial queries.

    If the person replies back, and you write something to receive that email, you could then programmatically save information from that email into the DB. In not sure if that helps. Take a look at these pages:

    Thanks Michael,
    I had gone through the links before.
    While I couldn’t use CFDB for my purpose, I really appreciate your timely help.
